An American Prayer

Moody and mesmerizing, An American Prayer is an interesting album of Jim Morrison reading his poetry over the Doors' music. An American Prayer was finished by the remaining members of the Doors after Morrison's death and finally released in 1978 (it was remastered and re-released in 1995 with bonus tracks). Those familiar with the lyrics of the Doors will not be surprised, but others may be put off because Morrison is unafraid to use crude imagery and talk unabashedly about taboo topics such as sex and religion. Although many dismiss his poetry as simplistic random musings, Morrison is a gifted lyricist with a vivid imagination. The album also demonstrates how the other musicians in the band create a mood that breathes life into Morrison's dark, twisted visions. The music excerpts of "Peace Frog" and "Wasp (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)" provide a welcome air of familiarity, and the definitive live version of "Roadhouse Blues" in the middle of the album provides a nice respite from the barrage of stories and metaphors. However, An American Prayer must be listened to in one sitting to be fully appreciated, preferably at nighttime when one is alone and can devote full attention to the listening experience. This album is not for everyone, but is a must-own for Doors completists and fans of Jim Morrison's poetry.

特别喜欢这张，在他逝世7年后，The Doors的其他成员将它们配乐并发行。 这是音乐结束的时刻，这是尽头的火，诗人心中最后的轻盈而破碎的诗句， 无畏的骑士最后的斗争和反抗，在死亡带走他之前，且让我们相信他可以坦然微笑， 美和真实在黑夜与绝望中绽放了最后的光彩。那灵魂深处的诗句已经得到保存。

因为都是卷毛吗…‎(∩❛ڡ❛∩)
